All right, here's a question. Is this real science or fake science? So there's a study according to Sky News that people who feel their life has purpose are less likely to get memory loss. So if you're an older person, let's say you are retirement age, your kids are out of the house if you had any, and if you can find some other purpose your memory loss will be less. Does that sound like real science to you? Does anybody have any questions about that science?

Here's my question. It's not an accusation, it's just a question. Wouldn't it also be true that the people with the healthiest brains would be the most likely to take on a new challenge in their senior years? Wouldn't it be likely that if you knew your brain had lost a step you would be less likely to say, you know what, I think I'll jump right in and make the world a better place with my degraded brain? I've got a feeling this might be backward science. I don't know that of course, it's just when I hear something like this I go, you know I feel like this could have worked either way. People with suboptimal brains don't take on as many meaningful projects. And if you're like me, I'm a certain age but my brain unfortunately seems about the same as it always was so I feel like not working at my current level of brain health would be just the wrong decision. So I do. I think this is my just personal impression of things but I feel like I do things that are designed to be good for the world and designed to be meaningful like this thing I'm doing right now because I'm not done. My brain is still functioning. In many ways it's better than it's ever been because I have extra experience. And so that's why I take on things. I take on things because I can. If I couldn't I guess I wouldn't. So I worry that the science is backwards but don't know for sure. They may have found a way to control for that but that's the question you should ask with that kind of science.

Well there's a story that hackers somehow got a hold of and leaked every American social security number. Oh everyone. So do you remember, well those of you who have been with me for a long time you know that I've been saying for I don't know 20 years that you can want to have privacy, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to want, but there's no way you can really get it because technology and the way people work is so biased against everybody having a reason to take a little bit of your privacy and then the technology will exist to steal the rest of it. And then the government will say well if we can look at them wouldn't that stop a lot of crime if we could just sort of look at them and check out their geofencing and everything else. So I don't think there's really any chance that we will have a future with something like privacy the way you used to know it. I think there's no chance of that. Now you c
